Verse 1:
D MajorD
 Break the news, you're walking out
C majorC
 To be a good man for someone else
D MajorD               C majorC  Cmaj7Cmaj7
 Sorry I was never good like you

D MajorD
 Stood on my chest and kept me down
   C majorC
Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
D MajorD                C majorC
 Did my best to exist just for you

Pre-Chorus 1:
        D MajorD               C majorC
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
        D MajorD               C majorC
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
        D MajorD                 C majorC
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
        D MajorD        C majorC       G+G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark


Chorus 1:
G+G               A minorAm        E minorEm
 I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
   A minorAm        E minorEm        D MajorD
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G+G               A minorAm      E minorEm
 But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
   A minorAm      E minorEm       D MajorD
I'll find a way to be without you, babe


Verse 2:
D MajorD
 I still feel you, now and then
C majorC
 Slow like pseudo-ephedrine
D MajorD                  C majorC    Cmaj7Cmaj7
 When you see me, will you say I've changed?

D MajorD
 I ride the subway, read the signs
 C majorC
I let the seasons change my mind
 D MajorD                    C majorC
I love it here since I've stopped needing you

Pre-Chorus 2:
        D MajorD               C majorC
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
        D MajorD               C majorC
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
        D MajorD                 C majorC
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
        D MajorD        C majorC       G+G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G+G               A minorAm      E minorEm
 But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
   A minorAm      E minorEm       D MajorD
I'll find a way to be without you, babe


Chorus 3:
G+G               A minorAm        E minorEm
 I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
   A minorAm        E minorEm        D MajorD
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
